Partick Monkey Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Considering how many games McGinty started for us, he would have been up for every single corner, free kick, long throw in every game for 2 years and I can't remember him scoring a single goal. That's either statistically extremely unlucky or some other reason... Good luck to the guy though. I don't think giving him bags of abuse after he's been offloaded does anyone any good... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He never scored for us. And yeah, for a guy his size and the frequency of him being in the opposition box, it is a pretty poor return. Apart from once quite recently (can’t remember the game) where he had a header cleared off the line, I don’t remember him being particularly close to scoring either. Might be that his positioning and anticipation are poor, or perhaps he’s just lacking in the bravery to attack a cross in the box. Either way, he can’t defend and he offers nothing in an attacking sense, so good riddance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ad Lib Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 2 hours ago, madton said: It doesn't sound good at all but I'm curious to know why he has played pretty much every game for you since he joined in the Summer of 2018? If he was as bad as most fans make out, why was he continually selected by Archibald, Caldwell and then McCall? If he was that pish, surely he would have been dropped and/or replaced during the 3 transfer windows he has been there. You must have had other options? With Peter Grant this season for example, we thought we were signing someone decent, turned out he was pish, he was subsequently dropped and then left in the 1st transfer window available. I'm not expecting much but Dunfermline fans laughed when we signed Ross Forbes and he was brilliant for us so we live in hope. He must be better than Grant. Because Archibald panicked with signings in his final window pretty much right across the back four, because Tam O’Ware got injured really early on, because Tam O’Ware then fell out with Caldwell, because Caldwell was atrocious (though even he took McGinty off and made a young left back play at centre half instead of him one game) and because McCall has occasionally wanted to play with 3 at the back and O’Ware and Saunders have at various points been suspended or not match fit. Rarely if ever has the reason McGinty’s been playing because “he’s done a good job”. His time at the club, and playing regularly, has coincided with one of the worst defensive spells the Club has had in decades. With the exception of a short spell when Anderson shored up the back, we’ve hardly kept any clean sheets for 18 months plus. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sting777 Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 (edited) Can’t see where Harkins goes from here. Wouldn’t be surprised if he hung up his boots as I can’t see even a lower league club taking him on. Final thoughts on him First spell....brilliant, especially when moved to midfield. One of McCalls best ever signings Second spell....unfit, lazy, wage thief. Edited January 29, 2020 by Sting777 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McGinty performances against us don't give me any confidence that he'll be any better than Grant. You've arguably added one of the worst in the league. For any team signing our defenders I'd be seriously concerned, we've not kept a clean sheet in the league all season and a number of games we've been absolutely ridiculed. Even Penicuik should have scored against us. What a transfer window this has turned out to be. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mediocre Pundit Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 I’m pretty happy with everyone McCall has brought in, and pretty happy with everyone he’s moved on. What a great transfer window - obviously goes without saying that he’s only been this busy due to the utter shit show Caldwell left us with. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's bewildering that we seem to have strengthened a rival team by taking a player they wanted rid of, while taking on a player who hasn't at all looked good enough for this level of football. On the face of it, Thistle have played a blinder here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oneteaminglasgow Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Who does that leave us in the “punt immediately” category? Tommy Robson, Ryan Williamson, Lewis Mansell and Mitch Austin are the ones I can think off the top of my head. If we were getting someone in then add Steven Saunders to that too. Anyone else? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless we get other full backs in can’t imagine Williamson or Robson leaving till summer. Mansell seemingly going on loan. Austin I would still give a chance to, but he is looking like last years Coulibaly. Cardle, Zanatta nd Jones likely to be bench warmers. Can’t think of any club that has cleared out/recruited so many players in any January window. We just need to hope these new players get immediately!

Fuctifano Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Mental that we've got rid of 9 players since Christmas and not one of them is Tommy Robson. Think only Mansell will go, on loan somewhere. That would leave us with 20 senior players so there might be room for one or two more at most, maybe loans as we've still got a couple of loan spaces left. We'll have freed up some wages by getting rid of 9 players, you'd think Miller, Harkins and Mcginty would be near the top 3 wages, but there will be severance agreements and we've paid fees for 3 players as well. The likes of Saunders, Jones and Austin will stay for now but go in the summer I think. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Dan Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Good luck to Gary Harkins, the Glasgow Cup game last week really highlighted his limitations. I think that signing the contract for us last year must have been the equivalent of him putting on an old jacket and finding £20 in the pocket. I cannot see him joining any club soon. Now waiting for the inevitable, Gary Harkins signs for Morton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrahamJags Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 I'm pretty certain Robson would've been one of the first to go if we could find him another club with a suitable replacement coming in, or if he was confident enough to find another club in January and agree a mutual termination. He's utter shite though, so it's no wonder no one else would want him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VinnyPar Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Falkirk interested in loaning Robson back but McCall wants to keep him. Gerry Britton has been writing a fair few cheques this window anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
